Silicon nanocrystals (ncSi) produced by current methods are polydisperse, meaning that producing them results in particles of different sizes at the nanoscale--from one to 100 nanometres --with one to five nanometres showing the greatest quantum effects.

Lee said his company, the Asia headquarters of the Nanocrystal Group, will launch initial public offering (IPO) in Canada in six months, with total market value of its listed shares to hit around US$80 million then.

In this paper, the effects of a nanocrystal ZnO on thermal degradation or crosslinking of several polymers were investigated in comparison to a conventional micron-size ZnO and also a common antioxidant.

The new phase-change materials - nanocrystal alloys of a metal and semiconductor -found by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley, are called "BEANs," for binary eutectic-alloy nanostructures.
